The subcommand of virsh that opens the XML configuration of a virtual network in an editor in order to make changes to that configuration is net-edit1. This subcommand takes the name or UUID of the network as a parameter and opens the network XML file in the default editor, which is specified by the $EDITOR shell variable1. The changes made to the network configuration are applied immediately after saving and exiting the editor1.

 The Linux kernel module that must be loaded in order to use QEMU with hardware virtualization extensions is KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine). KVM is a full virtualization solution that allows a user space program (such as QEMU) to utilize the hardware virtualization features of various processors (such as Intel VT or AMD-V). KVM consists of a loadable kernel module, kvm.ko, that provides the core virtualization infrastructure and a processor specific module, kvm-intel.ko or kvm-amd.ko. KVM must be loaded into the kernel of the host system in order to use the virtualization extensions of the host system’s CPU. This enables QEMU to run multiple virtual machines with unmodified Linux or Windows images, each with private virtualized hardware. KVM is integrated with QEMU, so there is no need to load it into the kernel of each virtual machine or the first virtual machine. KVM also does not require paravirtualization, which is a technique that modifies the guest operating system to communicate directly with the hypervisor, bypassing the emulation layer. References:

The unshare command is used to run a process in a new Linux namespace12. It takes one or more flags to specify which namespaces to create or unshare from the parent process1. For example, to run a shell in a new mount, network, and PID namespace, one can use:

unshare -mnp /bin/bash
